Came to town to drop off some furs at Great Northern Fur to be tanned. Stayed the night as we live 4 hours away. This hotel was nice, clean, comfortable, affordable! We stayed super bowl night and enjoyed being able to walk to other establishments. McDonald's, Kwik Trip, pizza place lots within walking distance!

Really enjoyed our stay at Best Western, Spooner, WI. Staff and management were very pleasant and helpful. They always stopped what they were doing to assist the guests. Rooms were clean and breakfast was good. We will stay there again on our next visit to Spooner.

The staff were super nice, the rooms were clean, large breakfast selection and the pool/sauna area was open 24/7! I would highly recommend staying here, especially if you are snowmobiling in the area, the trail is right next to the hotel, you don't even need to go down a city street!

Great place to stay in Spooner. Friendly staff and was very clean. Pool was open 24/7 which is best idea I have seen at any comparable hotel. I used the hot tub until 1am. Decent breakfast with very good scrambled eggs but no meat. Decent cofffee too.

your average room make up. The cost for the weekend was almost $350 for Friday and Saturday night. That's a lot for a town size of 2,500 people. I wouldn't go back. The beds are like sleeping on bricks. The pillows are half the size than they should be. I wasn't impressed with the breakfast. The biscuits were hockey pucks and one waffle maker made more long lines to use it. A lot of hairs in the bathroom when I first opened it.

I do surely hope that the next time you are in the area you will give us another chance. Again, thank you for taking the time to leave us a review.

I will drive several miles to stay at this location vs anywhere else in North West Wisconsin. Even though they do not have a work out room at this location you can use a local fitness center that is one block away for free. Just ask the staff and they will give you a key card to access the location.

Very nice rooms. The staff was very helpful and accommodating. No extra fee for pet and hotel has a very large green space as well as a great recreation trail next to it. I hope all pet owners respect this opportunity and pick up after their pets. Breakfast was the only part that wasnt excellent; no meat choice for keto fans, choices heavy on carbs and the biscuits were quite awful. Everything else about the stay was wonderful.

We have stayed at many hotels throughout the years for many sport tourneys and this was by far, the best experience. The staff was warm and welcoming. The hotel was clean and decorated adorably for Christmas. The staff interacted with the parents and kids. For a small town this hotel provided much more than expected.

The hotel was very clean, staff very friendly. Loved the hot tub. That too was very clean. Adequate pool, plenty of towels. Breakfast was good, scrambled eggs, sausage gravy with biscuits were very good. Nice and hot. No complaints on the food. In town for the dinner train. I liked that they had outdoor seating off the breakfast room along the river. There is even a gas grill that the guests can use. Grilling tools available if you ask. We didn't use the grill, but would be cool to grill burgers or steaks if staying for a few days.

My husband stayed for the first two nights for work and raved about the friendly service and clean room. On the third night, our pup and I were able to join him and we too received a very friendly welcome! Although our room was parking lot side of the hotel, the breakfast area was on the river side. Breakfast was very good with many hot and cold options. A trail runs alongside the hotel which was very nice when walking our dog.

We were in the Spooner area for a wedding. It appeared that there were 2 weddings in or near town the weekend we were there so the hotel was full. The hotel staff from the front desk to the folks cleaning the rooms were so very friendly and helpful. The rooms were clean and the breakfast good. The patio overlooking the river is a plus. I would most definitely stay here again.

our stay at this location was pretty ordinary. The rooms are a little tired and breakfast was pretty meager. The coffee was very tasteless, more watery than coffee. The front desk staff was very nice. The location is quite pretty on the water but it needs a little refresh. The food items for breakfast could be healthier and fresher. Maybe something other than white breads, bagels and muffins. Rooms are smallish and our door did not lock properly but we locked from inside with the deadbolt. Might stay somewhere else next time.

We were in town to ride the dinner train. There are not a lot of lodging options nearby. We were pleasantly surprised. Very nice facility, nice rooms, good location. Good breakfast options. Our only disappointment was the walls are a little thin. The room next door had their TV on until 2:00 am - shouldn't be able to hear that.

I was travelling on business and got in late. Staff was friendly & welcoming. I stayed 2 evenings.
The hotel features a 24 hour pool, so I was lamenting forgetting to bring a suit.
Most hotels have paper thin walls that lets you hear everything going on in the hall. It was a quiet night, but I thought the walls were a bit better than the baseline for protecting from hall noise.
The refrigerator and microwave are always nice when travelling.
The shoebox bathroom was small but adequate and clean.
The beds are where this hotel loses a star. Beds were pretty firm, but not really uncomfortable. The pillows were horrendously inadequate! No support whatsoever. Two pillows stacked didn't help. For the love of your neck, bring your own pillow! I have been trying to get my neck "crunched" back into place for two days now. Ouch!
Breakfast was a nice offering: one day there was biscuits & gravy and scrambled eggs; the second day it was scrambled eggs and sausage. I'm not sure why, but both days the eggs & sausage/biscuits & gravy were barely lukewarm. Maybe the heating element on the pan warmer was out? They also had the standard fare items: bagels, danishes, yogurt, fruit, cereal, etc. Waffles were also an option, complete with strawberries & whipped cream. That was a nice touch.
There is a deck you can sit on outside if the weather is nice to enjoy your breakfast with a riverfront view. Take advantage if you can!

We stayed here while on a motorcycle road trip around Wisconsin. We got the room with the whirlpool tub in it, and that was FABULOUS after 4 straight days on a motorcycle. And for July 2, it was a great rate for that room. Breakfast was fine, the hotel was quiet. Staff was very friendly. There is a laundromat just across the street, as well, which was perfect for us halfway through our trip.

Everything in our room was clean and inviting. Excellent, well-stocked breakfast. My only regret is that we couldn't stay longer, but we were traveling on business and had to leave early the next morning.

Breakfast was pretty good eggs and sausage one day eggs and biscuits the next day 3 cereals, oatmeal, yogurt, bagels. fruit, ... Given the size of this hotel I was surprised they had only one 2 slice toaster Staff was great every person seemed to want to go out of make our stay the best. There were plugs bedside to allow cpap use without unplugging anything.

The best western in Spooner is always clean, staff always friendly and on the ball. Breakfast is a bonus, with great coffee and juice. The pool is well maintained and hot tub clean. The rooms are comfortable and well stocked, beds and furniture comfortable.
We have stayed here many times and have no complaints other that the guests letting their children walk down the hallways dripping wet, they have towels you know.

The breakfast is always clean and replenished and lasts for hours! Many choices both hot and cold. The rooms are nice sized and clean! The grounds are beautiful right next to snow mobile trails with the river right off the back deck. The best part was the staff! Everyone was so nice, friendly, and helpful!

Nice water view on one side, road view on other. Not a lot of night road noise on road side. Clean rooms, comfortable beds. Various things breakfast menu items. Had the weather been warm, they even had a nice outside space overlooking the water. Rick who checked us in was helpful in directing us to Tracks for supper and making sure I got the double points on my BW membership card. Couldn't find any brochures about the area, but another helpful staff member showed us where they had been moved.

Trying to find a decent hotel can be frustrating when you're out in the hinterlands, but the Best Western Spooner Riverplace fills the bill well in this corner of Wisconsin. This hotel is a solid choice. It's a basic, two-story structure with no elevator, but the rooms are nice and housekeeping is excellent, along with care of the grounds. There is an indoor pool and hot tub area that is open 24 hours. We found the staff to be extra friendly and helpful. A complimentary breakfast includes a waffle iron and the usual items for this class of hotel. The WiFi worked flawlessly. There is also a McDonald's within very easy walking distance, if fast food is on your menu. It seems like a very safe, secure neighborhood. We give the Best Western Spooner Riverplace a big thumbs up.

Breakfast options were limited and there were no healthy options. Room key cards had poor magnetic strips and required multiple swipes to unlock door. Breakfast trash can overflowed. On plus side room was clean and coffee was available 24/7. Staff was friendly.

See previous comments! Even this survey is too long! You should spend more time in all phases from the design to include: proper parking lot drainage, to back-up hot water during peak morning hours, to trying to clear the breakfast services before the posted time for closure, to add an elevator for the 2nd floor, to the coffee maker lacking proper condiments, to mattresses that do not "roll-you-out of bed" all night! The mattress should have been updated. The internet station for one but not a table for 2 people to sit down; the room was too small for a family. Summary: A complete lack of attention to detail in all phases! If this was the best hotel in a small town, we would hate to see the worst! I have over 2 million miles of past travel experience and this stay was not positive!

Very nice hotel. Was getting later in the evening googled places to stay and called Best Western Riverview they had a managers special for $93.00 a night. When we got there they had chips and salsa for the guests. Swimming pool temp was great. Hot tub on the other hand was very hot. Staff said it had just been worked on so would have to check it out in the morning. Excellant breakfast scrambled eggs, sausage, bagels, english muffins, toast, waffles with strawberry topping, danish, yogurt, cold cerals, oatmeal, fruit. Staff was constantly restocking. Only downfall was no elevator. Had a few spots for trailer parking. Would definetly stay again if in the area

We stayed a couple of nights in Spooner for business, and in looking at the options, this one stood out. It's not the Hilton, but it is clean and well-run and has all the amenities needed, as well as helpful staff and a better than expected breakfast (it says free continental breakfast, but we had waffles with strawberries, eggs and muffins/rolls, i.e., a full breakfast). There is a small but warm pool inside, which was nice to enjoy one evening. Although the entry to the hotel faces the street, our room (and I think every room) had a lovely view of the river and lilacs in bloom, which tempted me to walk around the grounds, but it rained almost the entire visit. The beds were comfortable, the room was large enough to be comfortable for two siblings, we had several good conversations with staff, and there was really nothing to complain about. It is also right in Spooner, so it is easy to get around the town.

Not a very good value for the money. We experienced problems with the TV playback and the noise from the room above was terrible. We will not be staying here in the future. Would not recommend this motel.

We had stayed at this property last summer. When planning our vacation this year made sure we ended our day near Spooner. The property is very clean and well maintained. The sink and vanity were located outside the actual bathroom in our room. This is a feature I always appreciate.

Every chance we get when we go up to northern WI Hayward/ Spooner area we stay at the Riverside Best Western. We enjoy staying at Best Western Hotels because they are clean and friendly. The Best Western Spooner Riverside has a pool that is open 24 hours. I dont know that any other one does that. The continental breakfast is always fresh and gotta love the waffles.

I was a very nice clean hotel (nothing overly fancy). The staff was very friendly and provided quick & friendly service. Our room (as well as the rooms of many family members who were staying there as well) were clean and well maintained. The price was reasonable. Great hotel for the value.

I loved staying at the Best Western in Spooner Wisconsin because I had all the comforts of home, with scenery that was beautiful and close to nature. The balcony off of the breakfast room looks over a beautiful bridge and river. The rooms are clean, very comfortable and modern enough. The staff was polite and accommodating, the breakfast offers more choices than most and the location is in walking distance to restaurants/taverns. This is where I will stay when visiting Spooner again.

I have nothing but good things to say about this hotel. Very clean and comfortable, staff was very friendly and accomodating, and not only was there a nice view of the river, but also a deck area off of the breakfast room to sit outside and enjoy. I was also very happy to discover that the White Rivers Trail runs right by the hotel. I went for a nice hike, but you could also go biking, jogging, etc. The location is also convenient - a 24 hour grocery store is just around the corner as well as a few restaurants and downtown Spooner is very close as well. I would definitely stay here again!

Easy to find, super clean room, well appointed, view of river. Staff was friendly & made us feel right at home! Pool & hot tub were clean & open 24 hrs- how cool is that? Free breakfast was great. Good selection of very tasty foods- again- very clean. Just outside the breakfast area is a nice size deck with lots of tables & chairs, a nice area to eat, have a coffee or later in the day a couple adult beverages. It also over looks the river, making it a very peaceful place. Wife & I plan on visiting the area again with this hotel the only place we'll stay. Super value for the price. Don't miss The Brickyard, outstanding old school that now sells wares from local artists-very special!

Plenty of free parking, situated next to the lake on one side with McDonald's on the other. They offered complimentary chips and dip from 3-10, as well as coffee and other drinks. Good wi-fi and plenty of plug ins to use in the room.

The hotel was clean, up-to-date, and very nice. The pool hours were great! 24 hrs for adults and kids till 10. The rooms were very clean and comfortable. They have a very nice breakfast room with tons of options for breakfast! Biscuits and gravy, waffles, oatmeal and yogurt bar, bagels and pastry and coffee and juice to name a few. They also have a beautiful back yard area and decks overlooking the river, as well as a dock on the river and access to hiking and biking trails. Even though you are in the middle of town, you really feel secluded back there. They even supply a bike rack! There was fresh fruit, coffee, and chips and salsa available in the lobby as well. Check-in and check-out were a breeze. We were with a large group, but we felt welcome and well cared for. I highly recommend this hotel.

I stayed here while hunting over the weekend, all in all a great trip. My friend had previously made reservations and when we arrived we were checked in quickly and by a very friendly young lady at the front the desk.
Rooms were clean, spacious, clean bathrooms, nice tv and a mini fridge and microwave. The bedding was comfortable along with the mattress. The pool area was also nice and the hot tub was at a perfect temp.
They were very welcoming to hunters, they had breakfast starting at 4am and also had warm stew available in the evenings. Other pluses was a quality wifi and a great location to gas stations, cafes, bars and stores.
The only negative was the rooms were not very soundproof, we could hear doors closing, people walking above us, and in the hallways. I will stay here again as I still believe it is a great place to stay with very welcoming staff

We checked in late in the evening and the room they gave us was right above the front desk. Upon entering the room awe noted a heavy smoke smell even though it was a nonsmoking room..the air intake for the AC was right above the front entry where all the smokers went to feed their addiction. We requested a different room and they tod us there were no other rooms available. Seeing that it was a Sunday night and there were only 2 cars in the parking lot we questioned this. It turns out they weren't even close to full. It was late and they just didn't want to have to clean another room. Breakfast the next morning was inedible l.. We mentioned our problems to the morning staff and they gave us 10% off the room rate for our inconvenience. We won't be back

Very friendly and scenic place to stay in Washburn County, Wisconsin. Location is very close to the wild river trail system. Also located in close proximity to other places to eat and hike. The Yellow River is right next to the hotel and can easily be seen from the deck and the room if you get a river view room which I suggest.

I stay at a lot of hotels, typically over 100 per year. I have stayed at this property before and it is just plain fun. Everyone I saw that worked there was smiling all the time. They seemed to really enjoy their jobs and that is very infectious. They bent over backwards to be helpful, constantly asking me if I needed anything or if there was anything they could help out with. It's very refreshing to stay at a hotel that you actually don't want to leave. Beautiful river views and as is expected with Best Western, very comfortable rooms and beds. Highly recommend!

For one night, this place is just fine. It's an older hotel that has been nicely updated. The staff is most friendly and helpful, and it's clean and comfortable. I requested a river view room and received it, but was surprised that there is no elevator. The pool looked clean and nice, although I didn't use it. Breakfast was typical, but good options.

We were greeted with a smile and everyone one we met working at this hotel had the same smile and greeting, from front desk to house keeping. We were offered fresh fruit and chips and salsa and coffee as soon as we checked in. The room was very nicely appointed and clean, and we had wonderful view of the river. There was a patio off the breakfast room. It was raining so wasn't able to enjoy that amenity. The breakfast was good, with the Belgium waffle machine that actually made a nice waffle, so many places offer the same, but don't work properly. Check out was noon and check in for the train ride was 5. It was raining and the museums were closed so after driving about we went back to the hotel to ask if we could stay in the lobby to pass time. We were welcomed in and offered coffee, chips and salsa, they turned on the lights in the breakfast room and the TV and told to stay as long as we needed. It was a welcoming experience.

Wonderful hidden gem! This small hotel offers unmatched hospitality paired with professionalism. Perks we enjoyed: special room considerations, crisp sheets and clean bedding with no bedspreads(thank goodness) but there were the preferred small/decorative bedscarves instead, gluten free options at breakfast, clean rooms with working amenities. We felt the updates to the hotel and available services were more than what one would expect for a hotel in a very small Northern Wisconsin town. The staff were all incredibly kind while maintaining a professional air. Thank you for a great stay!

We stayed for 2 nights at this BW hotel. Was first impressed by its updated style and was very clean! The breakfast area was also very nice. They always have coffee, tea and ice water available. In the evening they put out complimentary chips and salsa! Beds were comfy and linens were nice. Their bath towels were actually on the softer side instead of feeling like a scouring pad. Pool and area was well maintained and the water temp was spot on. Hotel staff were very friendly, welcoming and helpful. I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again!

If it wasn't for the air conditioner it would have been a 5 star review. Upon checking into our room the air conditioner did not seem to be cooling. After a short while it began to cool. After several hours the air conditioner stopped. The desk lady advised us to unplug the unit to reset. During the night it quit again. This was annoying. A price adjustment was made at check out. This was a fair adjustment. It would have been better to have been given a different room at check-in. The breakfast was very good with fresh made scrambled eggs. We will stay again.

I was there for business trip. The outside doesn't seem like much but you will be happy as you step inside. I would stay here again for business or family trip. They have a board of recommendations/review in the area for places to visit and eat from other past guests in the entry way along with many local menu options. I always love to hear what others think of a place and it is a great way to find a hidden gem.

ME most this trip was how clean and tidy the breakfast room was kept. This hotel is very clean and quiet. Several choices for places to eat or enjoy a beer just by walking across street. Even a dollar general for inexpensive travel needs such as suntan lotion, toys, toiletries....you name it. If $$ General doesn't have it you don't need it! Senior discount if you are AARP member.

Spooner/Hayward/Minong offers few choices so we stayed at this reliable, basic hotel. Staff was very nice and had a file with restaurant suggestions, which worked nicely with the TripAdvisor app. We appreciated the clean room with comfortable A/C. Breakfast was included, although nothing extraordinary. The pricing was somewhat high for this basic hotel, but more disappointing was the very high occupancy tax.

The beds were comfortable and we had a great nights sleep. Loved the breakfast they offered. Had menu on front counter and offered a substantial selection of food. Offered outdoor seating along the river which made for nature watching opportunities. Staff was very friendly and made wonderful suggestions for local restaurants. Tried two of them and enjoyed both. The food at these restaurants was beyond our expectations.

Breakfast was pretty good with scrambled eggs, biscuits and gravy, waffles, cereal, yogurt, and oatmeal. Nice touch with toppings for oatmeal and yogurt. Only issue is that all of the local restaurants are closed by 9:00 PM. Guess I could have eaten at a bar, but didn't try any.

After coming back from our horrible experience at the dinner/train ride, we were able to relax in our wonderful clean room. The pool and hot tub was also very nice except there was a large family there with a ton of kids. However, kids will be kids! Breakfast in the morning was great.

My parents (84 and 81 years) and I had reservations for the night of 5/18/16. I made the reservations, but I failed to request a first floor room for them. Both rooms were one floor up, and no elevator. We showed up about 9:30pm, and the front desk staff was extremely helpful. Upon our realization that the hotel has no elevator, the staff helped take up my parents bags to their room. Great service! Saved me two extra trips up there :). The rooms were very good and the view out the window the next morning was serene with the cherry trees in bloom. A very enjoyable stay. One suggestion: don't charge $2 for a Kuerig cup in the buffet.

This was one of the best hotels that we have ever stayed at.The front desk lady Cynthia was extremely welcoming and professional.
We enjoyed our room we had a amazing view of the river,that was very romantic and nice.Very nice size tv,fridge and microwave.
The pool was very nice it was heated and it was open 24Hours.
The breakfast had a good variety of things to pick from.It was very clean dining hall to sit and eat your breakfast and they even had trays in case you wanted to take your breakfast up to your room.The juice was the best that i have ever had at a hotel.
All the staff that we encountered were very nice and made us feel at home (that alone would make us stay here again)
The only thing that i could say bad about this place was that the bed wasn't the most comfortable.I did like that they give you many pillows.
It is decorated very nice if you don't want to sit in your room you could sit down stairs or on one of the many couches or chairs and enjoy your cup of coffee.
I also like that you were able to check in at 3 and check out at 12.
We are already planning our next stay.

Very good stay in this hotel. Heated pool was a definite bonus with a two-year old ho wasn't frozen in 10 minutes. The board with local recommendations was a nice touch. Breakfast as good, but could have been fresher.

I entered my room and found the maid rummaging through my belongings, after confronting the manager about this It was clear nothing was to be done. My jewelry was missing along with some personal items, hard to want to continue to stay with feelings of violations of privacy. I would avoid this place at all costs. It has been two weeks and still no word of my missing items! I was pleased with the clean rooms and amenities offered.

Dear Sandy J,
I am sorry this happened and I would like to speak with you further about this situation. This was the first I have heard of it. I can be contacted via email at [email protected] I look forward to speaking with you.

Give this place a chance! I have been impressed numerous times by the care and service given by the staff, from the manager right down to the maids. I get great local referrals for restaurants and activities. They have a 24 hour pool and sauna! I go out of my way to stay here when I can. Breakfast is awesome with many options.

This was our first visit to Rice Lake and we randomly chose this hotel.
From the moment we walked in the staff were attentive, and could not have been kinder and more helpful throughout our stay. We were very happy with our room as well. the hotel was very clean, and while we didn't take advantage of the breakfast, we did appreciate 24/7 tea and fruit.
We will definitely return if we return to the area.

My wife and I had a great time. The place was super clean, breakfast was very good. They had coffee and tea all day available and chips and salsa from 3pm to 10. It was very easy to find, right on highway 70. The staff was very knowledgeable about the are and gave us great tips on what to see and where to go.

Very helpful and friendly staff people from the front desk to the people cleaning the facility. Great pool, whirlpool and sauna. We came to a funeral which was hard to begin with but staying here was no added hassle, it made the trip better because of the staff and amenities. The breakfast was more than you usually find at a "breakfast-included" motel.

Dear David A,
Thank you for a 5 star review. I am very sorry for your loss. I surely hope that you will come back soon for a visit and on a better note this time. Thank you again for the great review.

Stayed here for one night on a recent business trip. This location had everything that I need and expect from a low-cost hotel. Free internet, free breakfast, comfortable bed and excellent service The only negative on this stay was the fact that the pool and whirlpool were closed because of ongoing major maintenance.

Jenna C, General Manager at BEST WESTERN American Heritage Inn, responded to this review
Dear Thomas B,
I am very sorry to hear that you stayed with us while we were under pool construction. On a better note, it looks wonderful and can't wait to have you as a guest in the future so you can enjoy the newly renovated 24 hour pool and hot tub.

The staff was friendly. The pool is open 24 hours, we didn't think of bringing our suits with us. Overall the hotel was clean, there was plenty of parking. Our room had a king sized bed and thankfully we asked to be on the "lake side" of the building otherwise there is a highway right past the parking lot and I think we would have heard a lot of noise from that. The staff was very friendly.
Breakfast consisted of danish, donuts, waffles, breads, yogurt, powdered scrambled eggs and some type of meat, one day was sausage links the next was biscuits and gravy.
The room itself was clean although when we arrived, we checked the window and it was not locked at all. We normally do not do that, but, after reading their pamphlet we thought we would try it, thankfully we did and got it locked down so we felt very safe.
Being an end room near one of the entryways with a hallway separating us ... we never heard anyone coming or going.
In the dead of night though, the room was incredibly dark and there was nothing that gave medium lighting for a night light so I would suggest bringing something for that. I just used my iPad and plugged in a nightlight app which worked well.
WiFi connection was awesome.

We usually stay at Best Western's & this was our 1st time at this one in Spooner. We stayed for 4 days to see the leaf colors. Unbelievable quality & excellent all around. Everyone was very polite & professional at all times. The motel was very clean. Our room was very clean & smelled fresh. Had a Frig & microwave in room. Had a very large flat screen TV that was actually up high so you could see it from the bed lying down. FINALLY outlets in all the lamps!!! No digging under the bed for dusty extension cords. They had Great breakfast selections & the hot food was excellent. The pool water was perfect! Not too warm and not cold. The hot tub & jets were excellent. The POOL & HOT TUB are OPEN 24 HOURS!!! This was a big plus for us. We were very impressed with the high quality of service from everyone the entire 4 days we were there. I have to say this is now the BEST MOTEL we have EVER STAYED IN, EVER!!!! We can't wait to go back again. Kudos to management for a GREAT JOB of running their business.

Dear Sparkyann51,
Thank you for the great review!! We recently remodeled all of our rooms and we knew that it's more convenient to have plug ins on the lamps. I am glad that you also were happy with the pool room being open 24 hours. It is a major plus to many guests. We look forward to you staying with us in the near future.

BAL702, Las Vegas, Nevada

Where do I begin? Let's start with first impressions.
Cynthia at the front desk the evening we checked in gave first class service. While handling the paperwork, she covered all the details of complimentary breakfast hours, early evening chips and salsa, 24 hour coffee in the lobby, the pool, etc. She provided "customer first" service every time our paths crossed. When I walked thru the lobby to get to my car, she shut off the vacuum she was using. Nice courtesy so I wasn't bothered by the noise or in case I needed to speak with her. Other staff seemed similarly customer-oriented, though my interactions with them weren't as extensive.
We were in room 105, a one-bedroom suite, first room on the left down the hall from the lobby. Great location and fantastic room. Very spacious in both rooms, or should I say all three rooms as the full kitchen was well-equipped. I knew I was in a special place when I found TWO luggage stands in the bedroom. Small thing but I can't ever remember seeing that in a hotel. Another first was the pouch in which I found the TV remote in the bedroom. It was labeled "fresh remote". The bed was VERY comfortable and the bathroom spacious. The exhaust fan in the bathroom was overly noisy.
The hot and cold breakfast was consistent both mornings with scrambled eggs, biscuits and gravy, cereal, danish, toast, juice and coffee. The deck off the breakfast room was a nice place to enjoy fresh air and fall colors with a view of the small river.
The one downside as mentioned by others is the lack of an elevator. While it didn't affect us personally, my wife's 74+ yo aunt and friend struggled with their bags on the stairs.
All in all, our stay was very pleasant and enjoyable.

Nice hotel that appears to have been refreshed not long ago. Lobby area and breakfast room were nice and the pool area looked great. There is a deck/patio out back looking over a small pond. My room was clean and the bed was very comfortable. The whole property was very clean and well maintained. The front desk staff was very helpful with dining advice and directions. I would be happy to stay here again in the future.

One of the nicest places I've ever stayed in. Literally the best mattress and pillows that I've ever slept on too. The whole place just has a real comfortable and pleasant atmosphere and the front desk went out of their way to accommodate my last minute reservation. Super clean as well. Top notch.

With fall colors on the agenda, my spouse and I took a spontaneous road trip into Wisconsin last weekend. We headed north from the St. Croix Valley to Hayward, WI, and decided to get a hotel for the night.
I hastily booked the Best Western in Hayward...a little too quickly! Instead of that Saturday, I accidentally booked it for SUNDAY.
Upon check-in, the front desk lady told us about our error, and informed us they were completely full (3 weddings in town). She then took the time to call at least 3 other hotels in Hayward on our behalf; also completely booked.
She asked if we would be willing to drive to Spooner if the Best Western there had a room (about 23 miles). Long story short, the Spooner Best Western had 1 King Leisure left, so we drove then checked in (almost 10:00 P.M.).
The front desk worker was wonderful at the Best Western American Heritage Inn in Spooner! She offered us bottled water and cookies right away to take to our room (we have a Best Western Rewards card). The King Leisure was spacious, clean, and the bed...oh so comfy. Breakfast was a little disappointing as far as choices, but the coffee and waffle I had were just right. We'd stay again in a heartbeat. Both locations went out of their way to make sure we got a room, and that's top-notch customer service we'll remember. And a good night's sleep to boot!

We had a whirlpool suite and the whirlpool was huge! Room was very nice. A few extras in the room like, toothbrush, toothpaste, razors etc. was a nice touch. Had called and made a reservation but when we checked in asked if there were any other discounts and got $5 more off the room. Very friendly staff.

Very nice hotel with wonderful, welcoming staff. A recent internal make-over seems to add to the comfort. The beds are really nice for Best Western, The room was a little on the small side with 2 queen beds and the desk but it was workable. The only downfall was the cable service provider and not very good local channel reception.
